Description

This volume is a collection of the invited lectures given at the 1992
Commemorative Symposium on Centennial Anniversary of the ‘Geneva Conference’,
the first International Conference on Organic Chemical Nomenclature.

Needless to say, the rapid and exciting developments and the almost
overwhelming wealth of publications in the field of organic chemistry have not
been always accompanied by the creation and/or evolution of an appropiate
language.

The present book, therefore, focuses on the interconnections among the state
of the art of chemical research and communications of it and attempts again to
associate the names of eminent chemists with the evergrowing concerns for
current nomenclature, addressing a wide audience of scientists interested both
in chemistry and its ‘language’.
